England kept their Ashes hopes alive on Sunday as Harry Brook made an impressive 75 before the recalled duo of Chris Woakes and Mark Wood completed a thrilling three-wicket win over Australia at Headingley.

England were struggling at 171-6—still needing a further 80 runs to reach a target of 251—after Mitchell Starc had removed skipper Ben Stokes and Jonny Bairstow in quick succession after lunch on the fourth day. It was then that Brook was joined in the middle by Woakes, playing his first Test since March last year.
